TUTORING hybrid - Qualification for student tutors of all degree programs

Was ist TUTORING?

As a subject tutor, you lead tutorials, exercises and practicals as part of a course. You are responsible for repetition, practical practice and a deeper understanding of course content. Designing a learning environment that promotes independent work is one of the key tasks of subject tutors.

TUTORING hybrid

TUTORING hybrid has been part of the virTUos project at the Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL) since 2023.
In the TUTORING hybrid sub-project, hybrid teaching-learning scenarios in tutorials, exercises and practicals are identified, didactically analyzed, further developed on an interdisciplinary basis and prepared as OEP (Open Educational Practice). The focus is on developing the skills of teachers in interactive hybrid tutorials, tele-tutorials, exercises, laboratory and machine practicals.

Our qualification offers are aimed at prospective and existing tutors of all degree programs who take over the supervision of an (online) tutorial. There are numerous offers to prepare you for your (new) role.

Basic qualifications, workshops and work shadowing

You can register for all courses via OPAL.

Shortly before the start of the semester at the end of March and the end of September, one- to two-day basic training courses are held for all subject tutors! Register here: to the registration.

Experiences of our participants

M.Sc. Anna Schütze, Professur für VWL, insb. Managerial Economics

„Mithilfe von TUTORING bekommen Tutor:innen die Möglichkeit, Kompetenzen in der didaktischen sowie organisatorischen Realisierung von Tutorien zu erwerben. Sie erhalten Unterstützung vom TUTORING-Team sowie Zugriff auf dessen sich stets weiterentwickelnden Erfahrungsschatz.“

Edward, tutor at the chair for health and nursing/professional didactics

"Tutoring offers an excellent content overview of TU Dresden services, didactic basics as well as visualization for experienced tutors and newcomers. The workshops are moderated by dedicated leaders who respond to the ideas of all course participants. Exercises break up the sessions and provide space for individual feedback."

Anne, Practical Course Leader

"Tutoring for me has been an instruction manual and toolbox all in one. Better yet, it's responsive to questions. Thus prepared, tutors can go into practice more confidently and hopefully be rewarded with good exam results afterwards."

Jessica, Tutor at the Chair of Magnetofluid Dynamics, Measurement and Automation Technology

As a tutor, I have a teaching assignment that I am happy to fulfill. I am looking forward to getting security and feedback from qualified trainers with didactic backgrounds by participating in tutoring. This will allow me to check for myself where there are still possibilities to change something in the tutorial for a smoother flow.

"Das TUTORING Projekt ermöglicht uns die Sicht von Studierenden auf unsere Lehrveranstaltungen einzunehmen. Insbesondere die Selbststudienphase der Studierenden wird durch eine durchdachte Strukturierung und Überarbeitung der Lehrunterlagen angeleitet und gestärkt."

Christoph Thomas (Tutor für Konstruktionslehre im Bereich Maschinenwesen)

"Ich hatte vom Angebot einer Hospitation während der Basisqualifikation erfahren. Im Vorgespräch haben wir Ablauf und Zielsetzung besprochen. Nach der Hospitation analysierten wir gemeinsam das Übungsgeschehen und ich bekam hilfreiches Feedback und positive Anregungen. Es half mir sehr, meine Vortragsweise zu verbessern und den Blick auf meine Übung zu weiten."
